Hi mediocre,
I am taking blood thinners and anti inflamatory medicine. It's supposed to stop the bone from consolidating prematurely as far as I understand
Hey guys,
Thanks for all the support. I think I'll be struggling with emotional issues for a while, and I have gotten into the habit of using my vids and this forum as an outlet for my feelings. I am super needy right now and I ask my helper Wilbert to accompany me until I fall asleep, watch me click, and stuff like that. Basically, kindagarden stuffs. This journey is kinda lonely to be honest and i need to get a life in Milan asap or i need to leave and finish in the US
Here is the vid of my xray and explains the problems I had last week. I had some very tough days last week, and this xray will explain it all:
This is a vid i made last week in my moment of suffering. I am in a lot worse mood than I sound. I am stoic like that:
If u guys have any input that might help, please let me know. THis is a huge problem and rlly tested my commitment to this journey a million times
How long are you supposed to take the blood thinners, entire lengthening phase?

They don't have digital file of the x-rays? Would be easier to analyze the small details if you could get one, usually burned to CD.

hi, i am not sure. the paper says a few weeks but dr guichet changes his mind suddenly a not without notifying me. for example, he told me to do 21 clicks a day and today out of no where he suddenly emailed me and said he hope i am not still doing 21 clicks a day. wtf. was i supposed to just change my click rate randomly? he is a bit unorganized bc he is rlly busy. he is always traveling to other countries for a few days and have meetings and stuff.
and no, they dont have digital files apparently. i know that's so werid bc in the US all my xrays r digital. but here in the isokinetic center, i see other patients carrying around their xray in a bag
Yeah, it's weird cuz our hospital has not used films/negatives (only digital) for the past 2 years now. It's tough to make life size x-rays from negatives just by videoing or taking photo; plus we have different screen resolutions for youtube.
Either way, x-ray negatives are in no way a reflection of how good the LL program.
I hope Dr Guichet can address your issue with right femur lengthening. I'm just surprised why he's not aware you're doing 21 clicks daily; and being busy is not a reason. Unless it's a simple slip of the mind.
Anyway, you're more than 1 inch taller now!
Hi, thanks!
Dr Guichet just emailed me back angrily and told me to follow orders. In his book he gave me, it said in small font that after 8 days, to decrease from 21 to 15 clicks daily. That's his style. He officially tells u everything but emphasizes nothing, and expects u to figure it out. I am starting to get used to it. 
Hi Leechlet. Your videos are truly inspiring and as honest as anyone could aver hope and wish for. They show the reality of LL, and that is invaluable and hard to come by.
If you don't mind my asking, what is your total lengthening goal and why?
Okay, so it's supposed to be in the book.

Hi Tall,
My goal innitially is 10cm. It still is. I choose this bc I want to do 10cm again on my tibia a few years later after I start my own company and is able to pay for it. That was before I got the surgery...
Right after the surgery, I was suffering so much I seriusly thought about going back to America right away and just letting my 1cm that I've gotten during the surgery heal up and call it quits, maybe take out the nail a few month later.
Now, at almost 3cm, I am much more calm and have yet another view. I want to go to 10cm still, but I am much less certain about the 10cm on tibia in the future. Honestly, i dont' even think about my "goal" anymore. There r so many hard days that the last thing I want to do during my hrs of suffering and no sleep is to think " , I still sighed up for much MORE of this stuff..."
i take one step at a time now, but thinking of the past or the future is sooo stressful and counterproductive. it's like grinding online poker. u don't set out to build a huge bankroll. u improve ur game and play each hand as perfectly as a hand could be played. and then pretty soon u have a bankroll.
